00:00The Press, when you had breakfast this morning with Fed Chair, did you request that the Fed lower interest rates?
00:06Mr. I had breakfast with Chair Powell 41 times, and I never did that.
00:12The Press, last question.
00:17The Press, Governor Gavin Newsom has floated this idea of a 100% state tax on Californians who receive money
00:24from President Trump's anti-weaponization fund.
00:27Your response to the governor's call?
00:30There's no cure for stupid.
00:35Okay, thank you all.
00:42He's just not, he's just winding up.
00:46He doesn't believe in fair and free elections.
00:48He believes in competitive authoritarianism.
00:50Tried to light democracy on fire, tried to wreck this country after January 6th.
00:54He's just pardoned all the participants of that and just gave them $1.8 billion slush fund.
00:59That actually happened.
01:00He has seized the ballot and he's trying to take over what's going on in Fulton County, one of the
01:04most critical swing districts in the United States of America.
01:06Time for one more.
01:07The slush fund that you mentioned, are you looking to take any action on it?
01:12Is there anything you can do about that?
01:13Well, I've been thinking a lot.
01:14I'm not in Congress.
01:15I was out there in Washington, D.C. trying to make a case anew.
01:20And some good meetings with EPA.
01:23Lee Zeldin's a, I want to get him fired.
01:28But, you know, there is teams working hard to see what we can do to help the victims of last
01:35year's fires in Los Angeles.
01:36And, you know, so I was up there around the time when legislative leaders were all, you know, discussing what
01:43the options were.
01:44And so I've been thinking a lot about it in my flight back.
01:46And one thing that I think we're going to try to do with your support is tax 100 percent.
01:52Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100 percent of those proceeds.
02:00And that's an action the state of California can take.
02:03It's an action we look forward to taking.
